Prison on Fire II/Gaam Yuk Fung Wan II (1991)
Directed by Ringo Lam
Written by Yin Nam
Starring Yun-Fat Chow, Sung Young Chen, Roy Cheung
The 1991 Ringo Lam film Prison on Fire II, starring the great Chow Yun-fat, contains one of the most hauntingly beautiful contemporary Chinese melodies ever written, 希盼得好夢 or Hoping for Good Dreams.
One of countless versions of this melody can be heard in the trailer to the film:

粵語版主題曲: 希盼得好夢
作曲: 王福齡

填詞: 南燕
主唱: 溫碧霞
晚風輕拂耳邊 吹起我那兒時夢
往日編織的夢 如今已不再現
曾經立下志願 願歡笑常相伴
恨我虛度青春 叫希望成迷蒙
我在窗裡 望著那天空哭嘆
有誰憐我 憐我心中的悲痛
歷盡世間坎坷 嘗遍人情冷暖
淚水涌上眼眶 叫夢幻都已成空
Alternate Lyrics in Mandarin

南風吻臉輕輕 飄過來花香濃
南風吻臉輕輕 星已稀月迷朦
我倆緊偎親親 說不完情意濃
我倆緊偎親親 句句話都由衷
不管明天 到明天要相送
戀著今宵 把今宵多珍重
我倆臨別依依 怨太陽快升東
我倆臨別依依 要再見在夢中
